Post-Hermes death!
Grief.
While no emotions could truly describe what the sable queen felt, grief came the closest to it. Her heart felt like it was on fire, while her lungs felt as though she was drowning. The thoughts swarming her mind only revolved around him. She had been absent from the lives of everyone around her since that day, convinced that her presence would only serve to poison their minds and further their own feelings of loss and pain.
At first when the sickness had come, it had taken to all of Virgil's children but their future queen, Gaia. Natalya had wondered whether it was a punishment from the gods meant for their empress, but then her own son became plagued by it as well. What had Hermes done to deserve such a fate? Was it through some fault of hers or Helios's? Or was in a simple coincidence? Perhaps the entire epidemic was random and their gods had nothing to do with it, Natalya couldn't be sure.
The Centurion found herself obsessing over her questions and constantly asking herself why he had to die, but the answers never came. If they existed, no one was interested in giving them. Natalya would be consumed by the loss of her child without reasons why for as long as she lived. Sitting alone in the dusk with unshed tears, she tipped her head back and released a sorrowful howl, letting her pain pour from her maw one note at a time.
talk, think
